GLENN: Now let me introduce you to who Elizabeth Warren is. Two months ago this is somebody that the president did not, did not appoint as the head of this new Consumer Protection Agency because if he did, he would have to go through the Senate confirmation process. So instead he made her, I guess, executive secretary and the only employee. So by default she’s the head. But he can just appoint her to that role.

Two months ago in July she spoke at an event with George Soros and Van Jones. She also spoke at a conference with Soros in March. She’s a big, big Soros person. She’s a hero of the progressives. Arianna Huffington calls Warren her hero. Michael Moore loves her. Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders urged Obama to pick her. Al Franken wrote a letter in support of her. She spoke at Netroots Nation conference 2010, Building a Progressive Economic Vision. She said then, "Remember Franklin Roosevelt faced his economic royalists. Remember it took him years to get his entire economic package into place. It was tough, but it paid off." Andy Stern tweeted about her the other day. He said Chris Dodd is wrong: The Obama administration should do what is right for consumers and appoint Elizabeth Warren to enforce the new laws fairly. She’s not going to be enforcing the laws. She’s writing the laws. By the way, she spoke at SEIU at one of their conferences back in 2010, way back in 2010, in May of this year. The AFL CIO has also come out and endorsed Warren. Everyone seems to love Warren, including the attempt to get the Internet to be regulated. Just for your protection, of course. They said that if she’s not given real power, there will be hell to be paid. She apparently is someone that the left puts a lot of stock into. If you don’t know who she is, she’s been the one who has been overseeing TARP to make sure that’s been fairly given out. But you’ve seen her before well, you haven’t. But about ten Americans have seen her before. If they saw Capitalism: A Love Story by Michael Moore. Here’s what happened.

VOICE: It’s to say no more.

MOORE: This is what I’ve just come to believe is that capitalism in and of itself, at least the capitalism we know now, is, it’s immoral, it’s not Democratic, and worst of all, it doesn’t work. And they’ve proven it doesn’t work.

GLENN: That’s Elizabeth Warren.

WARREN: But we made up these rules. And the rules, the rules are of men, of people. We pick what the rules are. The rules have not been written for ordinary families. For the people who actually do the work. We have to rewrite those rules.

GLENN: There she is.

PAT: Can you believe? I mean, I would never have believed it, not in a million years, that these leftists would be out speaking openly right out in public about how much they hate capitalism, they want it destroyed, it doesn’t work, I never would have believed it. I never thought I’d see the day.

GLENN: These are the things that they are saying now when they’re in trouble. They’re in trouble. If you never thought you would see the day that Americans would say these things about the free market and that there would be people in charge, if you never said if you said to yourself, I never thought I would see the day when these people would not only say these things, they would do them. These are the less radical ideas that these people believe. Mark my words. If this is what they say now, once they get these things implemented and they have real true control over everything, fill in this blank. In two to three years what will you fill this blank in with? "I never thought I’d see the day in America when people in Washington and people in charge with real power would…" blank. I don’t think anything is too insane to put into that blank. Because there are people, John Holdren, who says he wants to dedevelop the United States. He has advocated sterilants in drinking water. Ezekiel Emanuel who is in the White House has advocated that everyone was 25 once and grandma, I’m sorry, but your time is up. You don’t get the healthcare. We have Van Jones who has called for a violent revolution. We have friends and associates of the president who have called for in the past 25 million Americans to be rounded up and put into reeducation centers and if they don’t, if they don’t take to the reeducation, then they should be liquidated. If you’re saying now, I never thought in American history I would hear X, what will that X be in two to three years? And let me ask you one more question. If this doesn’t wake you up now, if your neighbors don’t get up now after hearing this information. I can understand that they have never heard it because they’re encouraged not to hear it. There are very few that have not only said it but even fewer still that have pieced it all together. You’re one of those people. It is incumbent on you to peacefully share the word.
